Today’s Riverside, California schools will require wheelchair ramps to allow students and others who need wheelchairs to stay mobile on campus. But not all schools in Riverside have ramps ready. They’ll require help producing new ramps for use, and that’s where our experts at REDD Team can help.
You can request our services at REDD Team if you need assistance producing a new wheelchair ramp at your school. It’s easier to have a permanent ramp installed at your school than to have a folding mobility platform that takes a while to prepare and clear. A ramp will also be more reliable than an elevator or mechanical lift that takes a while to work and might also break down.
Where Can a Ramp Go?
We can install a new ramp in any space that requires one. We could even replace an existing and outdated ramp with a new one that meets ADA and California compliance standards.
You can order a ramp for use in many situations:
- A ramp can work next to an indoor or outdoor stairway. The ramp can appear on the side of the steps.
- You can also produce a ramp near accessible parking spaces outside your campus. A ramp can go over any nearby curbs.
- Portable classroom buildings in Riverside can also use ramps. You can install a ramp that goes on the side of the building and produces enough of a landing next to the door leading to the classroom.
Meet All California ADA Guidelines
The Americans with Disabilities Act has various rules for wheelchair ramps in schools, and the State of California has amended those requirements with other terms specific to the Golden State. We are ready to produce new wheelchair ramps for schools that meet all these California-specific standards, including the following:
- All ramps should be at least 48 inches wide.
- All landings must be at least 60 inches wide. These include the landings at the top, bottom, and intermediate spaces.
- The runs at the top and bottom parts of the ramp should be long enough. The bottom run should be at least six feet long, while the top run and any intermediate ones should be five feet long.
- Any nearby doors should not reduce the landing’s shortest dimension to anything shorter than 42 inches from the opening radius.
- Guardrails are necessary for ramps to go more than 30 inches above the ground.
- The build must also have a slope that does not exceed a one-foot rise for every 12 feet of horizontal run.
- All surfaces must also be smooth to where nothing could get stuck on its body. These include clothing or other fabrics or any items that might appear on a wheelchair.
The rules for getting an ADA-compliant ramp in Riverside are extensive. But our experts at REDD Team will be ready to handle whatever might work on your ramp.
